Kathleen Parker, a supposed conservative columnist for the Washington Post (remember how she bagged on Sarah Palin during the 2008 Presidential Campaign) has written a piece that is absolutely nauseating.

In fact, Flap cannot bear to link to the piece.

Read Michelle’s commentary here.

You have been warned. Bring the Tums or Pepmo Bismol.

Jonah Goldberg tells Kathleen to “Quit It.”

Maybe Parker wants another guest appearance with Bill Mahr or Colbert?

Political cartoon by Michael Ramirez

Charles Krauthammer endorses John McCain for President today.

Contrarian that I am, I’m voting for John McCain. I’m not talking about bucking the polls or the media consensus that it’s over before it’s over. I’m talking about bucking the rush of wet-fingered conservatives leaping to Barack Obama before they’re left out in the cold without a single state dinner for the next four years.

I stand athwart the rush of conservative ship-jumpers of every stripe — neo (Ken Adelman), moderate (Colin Powell), genetic/ironic (Christopher Buckley) and socialist/atheist (Christopher Hitchens) — yelling “Stop!” I shall have no part of this motley crew. I will go down with the McCain ship. I’d rather lose an election than lose my bearings.

First, I’ll have no truck with the phony case ginned up to rationalize voting for the most liberal and inexperienced presidential nominee in living memory. The “erratic” temperament issue, for example. As if McCain’s risky and unsuccessful but in no way irrational attempt to tactically maneuver his way through the economic tsunami that came crashing down a month ago renders unfit for office a man who demonstrated the most admirable equanimity and courage in the face of unimaginable pressures as a prisoner of war, and who later steadily navigated innumerable challenges and setbacks, not the least of which was the collapse of his campaign just a year ago.

Read the entire piece.

But, Charles forgot another conservative ship-jumper – Peggy Noonan.

For Peggy and Kathleen Parker those state dinners will taste – well, bitter sweet, no?

Don’t blame Flap for the post headline, he stole it from ACE.

Today, Kathleen “Look at Me! Look at Me!” Parker has authored the most juvenile and catty piece of tripe I have ever seen published outside of the New York Times. Or Wonkette. It’s hard to tell the difference sometimes.

I hesitate to link it, because I don’t want to give her the traffic. But I guess I have to do so, to prove that she actually “went there.”

Where’s there? How about “John McCain picked Sarah Palin with his dick.” (Paraphrased to suit the gist of the article.)

Here is what happens when a woman of little talent (be honest, had any of you even heard of Kathleen Parker before 3 weeks ago?) realizes that not only does she not have anything particularly insightful to say, but she has a megaphone with which to prove it to all in earshot.

Seriously, Parker may be syndicated in over 300 newspapers by the Washington Post but until she started bashing Sarah Palin, Flap had not read one of her columns nor had even heard of her in conservative media circles. So, WTF?

Key graph from ACE:

And here’s what I think is your motivation: the realization that you are an aging “never was” with no chance of ever rising to the level of “could be” compels you to destroy somebody that possesses the physical and intellectual gifts that you never came close to attaining despite all the money and hours you spent perfecting your posture or debating the finer points of Plato in charm school as daddy’s little princess.

Your “writing” and “analysis” are akin to the desperate wails of an aging B-list actress who desperately claims to be ready for her close up but only if the “Cybill Shepherd blurry lens” is used.

It hurts to realize that life has passed you by, doesn’t it Miss Parker? It sucks to realize that a new generation of brighter, principled and talented people are replacing the likes of you and Miss Noonan.

There you go – The Green Monster raises its UGLY head.
